HKSeveral U.S. universities have paused or restricted Curricular Practical Training (CPT) for international students following updated guidelines from the Student and Exchange Visitor Programme (SEVP). CPT is a work authorization allowing foreign students to participate in internships related to their studies. The changes came after SEVP issued directives in August emphasizing stricter oversight of when CPT can be approved. Universities such as the University of Pennsylvania, New York University, and others have either halted pending applications or limited CPT to mandatory internship components of degree programs. While CPT itself has not been banned, the new rules require more careful evaluation by university officials.
